Although I happen to agree with you that podcasts were successful before being added to itunes, Apple's adoption of something seems to validate it for the mainstream. Google had tap-to-pay years before it showed up on Apple devices. Now that it's been made ubiquitous by inclusion on recent Apple phones many point-of-sale terminals read 'Apple Pay' and I've had more than one cashier question whether it works with non-Apple devices. LOL.
